Climate Change: Don't Oppose Resource Protection and Industrial Production

Adapting industrial production to a changing climate is not only possible but crucial for safeguarding both vital supply chains and the environment, according to Anna Bozzi, head of the environment and sustainability department at Scienceindustries.

Bozzi contends that the essential question is not whether industry requires water, but rather how to ensure industrial production continues within a shifting climate while simultaneously protecting water resources. She emphasizes that a modern society relies equally on healthy ecosystems and the availability of essential goods, including medicines, food, and manufactured products.

The urgency for action is mounting as Switzerland has already experienced a warming of approximately 3 degrees Celsius since the pre-industrial era. This rise in temperatures has led to more frequent extreme heat episodes and summer droughts, making adaptation to climate change an increasingly significant issue for industrial site security and supply chain stability.
